Tom Watson announced in the April 2 issue of his newsletter, Still in Love with Lucy, that "Star Notes" has ended. "Star Notes" was a weekly Internet radio show devoted to actress Lucille Ball that featured a special guest each week.
Mr. Watson wrote:
Sadly, Saturday's show was our last "Star Notes" broadcast for Shokus Internet Radio. Because of differences with management, we have withdrawn from further association with the station.
Michael Stern, who Lucille Ball called her number one fan, is writing a book about his experiences with the first lady of comedy. The book is called I Had A Ball and doesn't have a set release date yet.
You can visit Stern's website at lucysnumberonefan.com. Stern will also be the guest on tomorrow's "Star Notes." "Star Notes" is the Internet radio program devoted to Lucille Ball. It is hosted by Lucy Historian Tom Watson. "Star Notes" airs every Saturday from 4-6 PM Eastern Time at shokusradio.com.

For those who haven't heard, Tom Watson, Lucille Ball historian, president of We Love Lucy Fan Club, and owner www.lucyfan.com has recently started a new Internet Radio Show, called "Star Notes", which airs LIVE every Saturday from 4-6 PM Eastern Time on www.shokusradio.com. Rick Carl, Illustrator of "The Official 'I Love Lucy' Paper Dolls Book", co-hosts the show.
Each week, Tom has trivia contests, talks about the latest "Lucy" news, airs rare "Lucy" audio clips from her shows and radio appearances, and has special "Lucy celebrity" guests for every show (this past Saturday, for Episode #3, the guest was ILL film editor Dann Cahn). Guests on previous episodes included: Marilyn Borden (of ILL's of "Teensy and Weensy" fame), Jimmy Garrett (who played Jerry Carmichael on "The Lucy Show"), Wanda Clark (Lucy's personal secretary), and Frank Gorey (Lucy's driver, who also has a book in the works about his time with Lucy!!).
You can also e-mail questions for the guest before the show, OR call in and ask the question DURING the live show (phone number during the live show is 1-888-746-5875, the e-mail is tom@lucyfan.com).
You can catch a "rerun" of the past week's show every weekday from 4-6 PM (Eastern Time) and Sundays from 11 AM-1 PM (Eastern Time).
Next week's guest, for the March 10th show, is Wanda Clark (Lucy's personal secretary).
